Text: James Montgomery | Tune: NEARER HOME
For ever with the Lord!
Amen, so let it be:
Life from the dead is in that word,
‘Tis immortality.
Here in the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day’s march nearer home.
My Father’s house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At times to faith’s foreseeing eye
The golden gates appear!
Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above.
For ever with the Lord!
Father, if ‘tis Thy will,
The promise of that faithful word
E’en here to me fulfil.
Be Thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail;
Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand;
Fight, and I must prevail.
So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
‘For ever with the Lord!’

Absolutely love this hymn! I sing this all the time at home (not sung in church, surprisingly). People think it’s just a funeral song but no, it is a glorious God-glorifying hymn that testifies of His Presence. The whole song is about God being Present, at all times not just in/after death?
God is our Home, so says Moses; Jesus is our ever-present Emmanuel, a foretaste of His glory, whether it’s His will for us to fight with His upholding Spirit at our right hand on earth or to, by death escape from death into His immediate Presence.
What glory! To escape from this death, this greatest burden of all burdens every Christian bear, this body of indwelling sin … to a body in heaven, that’s so filled with Jesus Christ, that it’s impossible to sin, praise the Lord!
I'm a Methodist and I love my church, Methodist hymns are full of prayers and inspirations . Thanks be to God for the life of John Wesley and his family
Wonderful rendering of this hymn I sang as a young person in Jan 1967 at my dear Grandmother's thanksgiving service in the Gospel Hall Portsmouth who went to be with the LORD.
Forever with the Lord!"
Amen, so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortality.
Here in the body pent
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A days march nearer home.
My Father's house be nigh,
Home of my soul, how near
At times to faith's forseeing eye
The golden gates appear!
Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love
The bright inheritance of saints,
New Jerusalem I love!
"Forever with the Lord!"
Father if 'tis Thy will,
The promise of that faithful word,
E'en here to me fulfill.
Be Thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail;
Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand;
Fight, and I must prevail.
So when my latest breath
Shall rend the vail in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
"Forever with the Lord!"
I love this Hymns, all glory be to almighty God Amen
Victoria Ajakaiye Amen 🙏🏻
Forever with the Lord. Let this sing when my body goes to my final resting place next to my father. Forever with the Lord. Amen
By death I shall escape from death, and life eternal gain! … Forever with the LORD!
Forever with the Lord
I discovered this beautiful hymn tonight in a lovely old antiquarian book "Illustrated Christian Lyrics." All 22 original verses are shown. The book was given as a gift from "May" in 1885.
Beautiful Amen favourites hymns
I love all Methodist hymns.
This is my mum's favorite hymn and reminds me of her every time I hear it.
Hallelujah!
Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.
Jeremiah 32:17 NIV

Probably because it's congregational singing, picked up by mics at a distance, the singing lacks clarity. ☹️
Ah, it’s not the mic. People aren’t closely following the organist with the ear. It sounds like they are on the same wording at slightly different times. Hence the blur. Clarity is difficult when the minister is not waving the time especially for most of us oldies who are partially deaf in any case.

Thanks for the clarification.
I'm sang tenor in our church choir.
